Shah Rukh Khan’s Advice to Amrita Rao on Main Hoon Na

Bollywood actress Amrita Rao recently shared on Ranveer Allahbadia’s podcast how superstar Shah Rukh Khan encouraged her during the shoot of Farah Khan’s 2004 hit film Main Hoon Na.

Amrita revealed that during a break in the film’s schedule, Shah Rukh, who was shooting another film at the time, invited her and her mother to meet him. He praised her for having the qualities of a superstar and shared advice she still follows today.

“He said something very nice: 200 films will come, but we must sign only two, hoping one of them will be the film people are waiting for. That has been my criteria while signing films,” Amrita said, highlighting how selective she has remained in her film career.

She also praised Shah Rukh’s professionalism on set. “He would observe newcomers and take the nervous energy off us. Every first take was the best take; there were no second takes because his temperament was such that he didn’t ask for them,” she added.
